Getting Help Starting Your Page Layout Table

Dreamweaver MX 2004 contains some pre-built HTML pages that contain tables; you can use one of these designs as the basis for your page, or you can resize the table and insert it into a page already in progress.

To use a pre-built template

1.

From the menu bar, select File > New. The New Document dialog box will appear.

2.

From the Category list at the left, select either Page Designs, Page Designs (CSS), or Page Designs (Accessible). (The CSS version should be self explanatory; the latter uses code meant for a wide variety of browser types, as discussed in Appendix A on this book's Web site.)

A list of available designs will appear in the Page Designs list box.

3.

Select the name of a page design, and a cropped preview of the page will appear in the preview area (Figure 12.9).

Figure 12.9. You can start with a prebuilt design from Dreamweaver's New Document dialog box. If you've turned off the command that opens this dialog box, simply select File > New from the menu bar to retrieve it.
